iirc, it was mentioned somewhere that qt3 (without devel) was only submitted
to satisfy the lsb requirements (which are ridiculously unrealisticly outdated
imho, but there is talk of upgrading).
I read this as: 'we just put it there, but noone even tested it to see if it's
actually working', it might as well have been an empty package or not there.
i think that during this huge (boring) thread to me, this has been
misunderstood a few times.
as some people mentioned:
- make TDE build and run well locally (because TDE obviously is what you want,
and it does give a good test-run on qt3 on almost all parts)
- co-install it with KDE4 and make it both run very well
- discuss with current maintainers/packagers/your mentor of qt3 how to
support/maintain this (i suspect there is no real maintainer, but check the
commit logs who worked on it).
- after all these steps (quite a bit of work), start committing your stuff and
submitting to core/testing
- organize a few testers to test it out
- move to core/release
I don't think anyone disagrees with these steps, if they do, you could have
packaging leaders/council decide on this.
(IMHO, it would be nice to test this procedure of council decisions, i would
love to see this happening)
I suspect due to the freeze that this will hit cauldron after mageia release 1
good luck
